Helper monkey seems like fun until suddenly it wouldn’t be. Hope you did not starve to death overnight Lisah! Time to start hoarding upstairs snacks and drinks?
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
lisah needs a snack basket. Or a minifridge. Or a dumbwaiter.
Or a helper monkey who travels by dumbwaiter. Why has that never been in a movie?
Or a Rube Goldberg contraption like Pee Wee's breakfast machine.
A tiny little train that chugs up the incline of the bannister and dumps Chex Mix into her mouth.
It's a glorious morning in San Francisco.
EM is coming over to do paperwork and listen to me complain about the great insurance switcheroo and my tedious travels through phone trees, then watch me give a two hour tour of the now cleaned nerdhole (all 40 square feet of it), and then lay out my Less Janky aesthetic and life plan.
My body is thoroughly stiff from yesterday's pilates and I've got another session at 2 today. Sore!
Today's goal: get my friend Betty's bday package in the mail. As you all know, getting things actually into the mail is about as difficult as free climbing the north face of El Capitan.

Punishingly Intricate
I did not starve! But I am thinking about storing snacks upstairs.

I also thought dumbwaiter! But now I'm thinking a Wallace & Gromit style device to deliver buttered toast or something would be a fun project. For someone.

That which does not kill you should RUN

Tim is always willing to tinker with mad science-style contraptions and shenanigans, but included in the fine print is that he cannot guarantee a delivery date. And by "delivery date," I mean "year."
